Paul Merson singles out Arsenal player for his role in 'worst defensive goal of the weekend' as Ollie Watkins netted dramatic equaliser for Aston Villa

Paul Merson singled out an Arsenal player for his poor defending in Aston Villa's equalising goal against the Gunners on Saturday.

Arsenal looked to be set to cut Liverpool's lead at the top of the Premier League table back to four points as they led Villa 2-0 at the Emirates, but Unai Emery's side shell-shocked their hosts by scoring two goals themselves to earn a point.

The first came through Youri Tielemans, who headed past David Raya to halve the deficit, before Ollie Watkins powered in a volley off the crossbar to send the away end into raptures.
